The kitchen is a testing ground of true quality, a crucible of craftsmanship. Which is why Le Creuset - French for cauldron - is known throughout the world as cookware that can, to coin a phrase, take the heat. Though the name was chosen as a reference to the fiery orange hue of molten cast iron (and Le Creuset's signature enamel color, Flame), it could apply just as well to the kitchen-proven quality of Le Creuset's traditional craftsmanship.

Founded in 1925, Le Creuset still manufactures its cast iron cookware in its original foundry in Fresnoy-Le-Grand, France. There, the flawless perfection of each piece is assured by the hands of 15 skilled artisans. It's this commitment to quality that gives each piece of Le Creuset cookware as distinctive a stamp as the porcelain enamel glaze that coats it. Le Creuset's lifetime limited warranty guarantees that its cookware is free from defects in material and workmanship.

The legacy of Le Creuset is one of originality and innovation. In 1925, it was the first company to improve the versatility of traditional cast iron cookware by coating it in a porcelain enamel glaze. Today, Le Creuset's unique mix of heritage and modernity is giving new life to home kitchens. Examples abound at hayneedle.com, including beautifully designed and impeccably manufactured stoneware, dinnerware, stockpots, terrine dishes, tea kettles, and more.

Le Creuset has also complemented its cast iron collections with hard anodized and stainless steel cookware that acknowledges and exceeds the style and performance requirements of modern kitchens.
